00:00All about the pressure of the season and who has more pressure.
00:03And I would say all things being equal.
00:07If the off season didn't happen,
00:10if Mike Frabel's off season did not happen and we were coming into this
00:15year,
00:16I would tell you,
00:17I think there's a lot of pressure on Drake made up to now with his
00:21piece with AJ Brown and to a lesser degree Dobbs,
00:26man,
00:27there's a lot of pressure on this guy to go out there and be one of the
00:30best in the league coming off,
00:31finishing second in the MVP voting.
00:33A lot of people thought he should have won the MVP and now he gets better
00:37talent around him coming off the Superbowl run.
00:40Wow.
00:40That's a whole hell of a lot of pressure to live up to and expectations are
00:44sky high for Drake may.
00:45And I still think they are,
00:48but I think the way you can measure the pressure is the way that Andy Hart
00:53just kind of laid it out,
00:54which is who takes the fall and the blame.
00:57If things go sideways.
01:01And I think Mike Frabel's personal life and his off season is going to be the
01:08thing that people are talking about.
01:10If the team doesn't perform,
01:11they won't be putting it on Drake may they'll be putting it on Mike Frabel.
01:14And I don't think that would have been the case had the off season stuff with
01:20Diana Rossini never come out,
01:25but it did come out and it has been a story and it has led to questions about
01:31Mike Frabel's ability to lead and Mike Frabel's program and the things that he
01:36preaches.
01:36And all of that is in play.
01:38Now,
01:38if the team doesn't play well and they've got a brutal schedule early on,
01:43you know,
01:43they got to go to Seattle on their banner night to open up the year,
01:49got to travel to the West coast to do it.
01:51I mean,
01:51it's,
01:51it's not,
01:52it's not easy out of the gate.
01:55If they perform,
01:56I think all those questions get put to rest.
01:58And then maybe that pressure does shift back to Drake may more so than it
02:02does the head coach.
02:03But right now today,
02:04July 9th,
02:05a couple of weeks away from the start of training camp,
02:08the pressures on the head coach.
